I'm not sure how many practice problems I completed today but it has to be near 9,000. It's to the point where I don't care because my brain cannot possibly comprehend any more information tonight. With that, I keep singing  my own version of the Black Eyed Peas hit I just can't get enough but y'know with the words "I just don't give a fuck." There is so much to know! Blehhhhhh, another potential retake in my future.

I got 99 problems and the biggest bitch of them all rules the world


Organic chemistry exam tomorrow and my head is feeling wonky. The sooner this semester ends the better. If I didn't have to work on Friday my modus operandi for Thursday night = boozing it up.

I'm in a constant battle with my curriculum. Organic chemistry is an elephant and when you try to shove an elephant into a corn kernel it doesn't work out well for either party. I tell myself to 'be better' constantly. Study more, pay closer attention, work out more problems -- in the end I still struggle to remember every fundamental and fact.

If you look at my transcript it's plainly evident I'm not cut out to ride with top-notch, wound up pre-medical students. I can't take another four years of memorizing trifle I can look up in books. I accept this truth. I like to write and scouts honor, I do it billennia times better than test taking. My use of the possibly made up word billennia may  negate this...

Do you know what sucks? Making mindless mistakes on quizzes because you second guess yourself. I need to stop obsessing about things I cannot change. Christians say that one prayer (aptly named the serenity prayer):


God grant me the serenity 
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah, so basically I'm 6/7th atheist BUT my brain needs to gain some wisdom and tell itself to shut the fuck up sometimes. There's an easy solution, try harder (and ignore the students in class who ask questions the book can clarify). Writing this has made me feel better.
